Well written. Love the Ferris Bueller reference.

Guns are like shoes. Either they fit, or they don’t. I don’t understand Glock haters, 1911 haters et al. If you don’t like a gun, don’t buy it. Just don’t tell me that the one I bought is a piece of crap.

Ummm yeah, now my head hurts. 😁

Took me a sec. The tune running through my head was the one that goes with “…na na na na, hey hey, goodbye..”.

That’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are.

We never used anything that large. A small piece of paper wet with spit, folded and compressed carried a lot of sting. That thing could cause serious injury to someone’s face. If I got hit in the face with one of those, the shooter’s face would be subject to injury too. 😉

That includes many adults too.

And the NYT is still on roll of misinformation.

I think it was Pendleton where I recall the “strip” just outside the base. Pawn shops, payday loan shops, used car lots and all manner of predatory businesses to take advantage of these young Marines. I was surprised they were permitted to locate so close to the base entrance.

Mechano!

Same here

I learn something new every day!

My first wife was first generation Polish American. Her entire family and friends had names like that!

Almost certain that’s the USS Iowa - BB 61 - and somebody has messed with the hull number for the photo. Why, I don’t know. No other US ship(s) has the lines of an Iowa class battleship.

Or as Sheriff Bart said to Lilly, “Baby, I am not from Havana!”

Then you realize the washer ate it and flushed it where it now clogs the drain. The trick is to see if you can remember how the dryer goes back together before the plumber arrives tomorrow or the next day.

No, those appear to be intact. I’m still looking and can’t figure out what might be missing… 🤪

Thank you, I was wondering what the punchline was.

Now that’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are.

I tried to get this meme thread back on track with another meme after derailing it over the pen joke (sorry), but the mods must’ve found something objectionable and pulled it. Here’s another. Happy meming!

Had to look that up as I wasn’t aware of them. Kinda cool. I’m old enough to remember fountain pens that had an internal bladder. There was a lever on the outside of the pen that when lifted would squeeze the bladder. On release, the bladder would expand and draw ink from a bottle in through the nib. As a tyke, I thought that was cool. What I didn’t understand is that if you lifted the lever again, you’d squirt ink everywhere. Dad was NOT pleased… 😱

In grade school (Catholic) we were required to buy “washable blue” ink as opposed to permanent, which was important because boys had to wear white shirts. The unintended consequence was that it encouraged “pen fights” where you whip the pen, making it fling ink on your opponent. Hey, it was supposed to be washable, right?
